Huntington Ingalls Industries (IngallsConnect) Privacy Statement

Effective Date: June 26, 2020

Huntington Ingalls Industries and its Divisions – Newport News Shipbuilding, Ingalls Shipbuilding, and Technical Solutions (collectively, “HII”) – appreciate the trust and respect the privacy of everyone who uses our Websites, Social Media Accounts, and Mobile Apps (collectively, our “Online Activities.”).

This Privacy Statement explains how HII uses, stores, discloses, and protects the Personal Information that we collect when you interact with us through our Online Activities, as well as your rights and choices regarding the information that we collect from you.

HII is a U.S.-based company with international activities and domestic and international business clients. As a result, information that we collect from our Online Activities, including Personal Information, may be transferred to our U.S. offices to permit us to comply with our legal and contractual obligations, to provide information and services to prospective and current clients (“Services”), and to perform related business activities. In addition, we may work with third-party service providers in the U.S. and in other countries to support our business activities. Thus, Personal Information may be transferred to, stored on servers in, and accessed from the U.S. and from countries other than the country in which it was initially collected. Those countries may have different legal protections from the country in which the information was collected. In all such instances, we use, transfer, and disclose Personal Information solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement.

HII complies with applicable U.S. federal and state laws regarding privacy and data security, and with the obligations imposed on us when we act as a government contractor. HII also complies with applicable international law regarding the protection of Personal Information (“International Privacy Law”). For additional information, including with regard to Personal Information collected from EU-based individuals, see “Our Compliance with International Privacy Laws,” below.

Information Collection Not Covered by this Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement does not apply to Personal Information that HII collects and uses for employment-related purposes, whether through our Websites or Mobile Apps or through a website operated on our behalf by a third-party service provider. HII has separate, internal privacy practices and notices with regard to personal information that is collected and used in the employment context.

What HII Means by “Personal Information”

For purposes of this Privacy Statement, “Personal Information” means any information from or about a person that either identifies that person directly or that makes that person identifiable when it is combined with other information from or about that person from any source. This definition includes personal information that would be either “personal data” or “special categories of personal data” as those terms are defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and “personal information” as it is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq. (“CCPA”).

Personal Information becomes “Non-Personal Information” when it has been aggregated, deidentified, or otherwise anonymized sufficiently that the individual is no longer identified or identifiable and cannot be reidentified using reasonable efforts, resources, and technology. If we combine non-Personal Information with Personal Information, we treat the result as Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

Information that We Collect Automatically When You Interact with Us through Our Online Activities

Logs

Our Websites and Mobile Apps automatically create logs about user sessions that provide us with information about the features that you use, the actions that you take, and the information that you access while using our Websites. When your session ends, HII only retains that information in a statistical and aggregated format (non-Personal Information) that we use for research purposes, assessing the effectiveness of our Websites and Mobile Apps, improving user experience, and providing cybersecurity protection to HII.

Cookies are small pieces of information transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your preferences and settings. Cookies collect information from and about the websites you visit, including ours, such as the type of search engine you use, the sections of the websites you visit, and other website usage information.

Our Websites currently cannot process automated “Do Not Track” signals from your browser. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may manually modify or disable the cookie acceptance function on your browser. For more information on modifying or disabling cookies, go to the “help” menu on your browser or to www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or www.youronlinechoices.com. Our Websites may still be viewed if you choose to disable cookies, but your use and enjoyment of our Websites may be adversely affected.

We use session cookies for Website use and function, and those cookies expire at the end of the session. We only use persistent cookies, which collect information that can be used on future visits to our Websites, to support Website activities for our vendors and third party business partners and our prospective, current, and former employees, including for our Careers applicant tracking system, HII Discounts web application, and third-party benefits application. HII may retain information from the session and persistent cookies in a statistical and aggregated format (Non-Personal Information) for research purposes, assessing the effectiveness of our Websites, and improving user experience.

Analytics

Our Websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our Websites. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our Websites is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the U.S. Google will use this information for evaluating your use of our Websites, compiling reports on Website activity, and providing us with other analytic services relating to our Websites and Internet use. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

You may manage and opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads settings and selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our Websites. Alternatively, you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en and/or opt out by visiting www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or www.youronlinechoices.com. For further information on Google’s terms of use and data protection/privacy, please see https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html, and http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/index.html.

We collect and retain information from Google Analytics in a statistical and aggregated format (Non-Personal Information) for research purposes, assessing the effectiveness of our Websites, and improving user experience

Information that We Collect from Other Sources

HII does not collect Personal Information from or about you from third parties, or combine information from other sources with the information described in this Privacy Statement, except with regard to your interaction with us through our Online Activities. HII may obtain information, including Personal Information, from our business partners and service providers who provide services on our behalf as described in this Privacy Statement, including those involved in our Online Activities. Finally, while interacting with us through our Online Activities you may provide information about another individual. We assume that you have the permission and authority to provide that information and to consent on behalf of that individual to our collection and use of Personal Information as described in this Privacy Statement.

Information that is Collected by Third-Party Websites, Social Media Platforms, and Official App Stores

We may link to third-party websites to provide you with additional resources and information, and you may choose to download one of more of our Mobile Apps from one of the official app stores or access one of our Social Media Accounts. Unlike the data collection, use, and sharing activities described in this Privacy Statement, we do not have control over the data collection, use, and disclosure that takes place when you visit a third-party website, social media platform, or official app store. Because this Privacy Statement does not apply, we encourage you to carefully review the privacy statements for third-party sites, social media platforms, and official app stores to understand their privacy and security practices before sharing any personal information with them.

Security

HII uses reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the Personal Information that we collect. We protect Personal Information under our control against – and require our service providers to also protect against – accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to, Personal Information that is transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed. Only authorized employees have access to the data you provide, and that access is limited to least privileged, need to know access. HII employees who have access to your Personal Information have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of that information.

Consistent with our legal and contractual obligations and with cybersecurity best practices, we will use public and non-public information, including Personal Information, to the extent necessary to maintain and improve our cybersecurity program and our awareness of evolving threats and to investigate and respond to suspected and actual cybersecurity and privacy incidents.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or via email and no data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Data Retention

HII retains Personal Information in accordance with our records management practices and only as long as necessary to accomplish the business purpose for which it was collected and to comply with our legal and contractual obligations, and then securely disposes of that Personal Information or converts it to Non-Personal Information by aggregating it, de-identifying it, or otherwise anonymizing it so that it does not directly or indirectly identify an individual and cannot, with reasonable efforts, resources, and technologies, be used to re-identify an individual.
